A scammer scamming scammers.
But, a lot of investment money got sunk into bad ideas. just like this nonsense of electric cars.
The share price went up because they delivered about 50% more vehicles than they projected. (I suppose you could accuse them of low-balling projections in order to manipulate their results, too).
I don’t know the details of this case, but I do know it takes years to design and commercialize a car... and by the time Rivian started making deliveries there was a worldwide pandemic, supply chain problems, labor shortages, and high inflation for producers. When, exactly, should they have announced the price hikes?
Their front end looks like some futuristic retarded anime robot from Japan. Dunno why anyone would buy one just from that!
I just got a deal on a 2013 Toyota Tacoma, one owner, low miles, well maintained. I will probably never need to buy another vehicle. EV’s are the compact fluorescent light bulbs of cars.
